Google Chrome and Disgusting Adds..?
I had Google Chrome but i had to uninstall it.. Cause it had these weird creepy adds.. I used this SHITTY ad-blocker from chrome store but that didn't work the adds were still there i just couldn't see those disgusting photos.. For now I'm using Firefox but it's way to slow.. I googled Opera but it didn't convinced me.. I really loved my google chrome but those creepy adds freak me out.. For example when i was browsing the web those adds were everywhere..!! Even in Facebook, Youtube and my Twitter..! What should i do..? Download a new browser..? Or stick with Firefox..? IF YOUR ANSWERS ARE STUPID OR HURTFULL I WILL REPORT!!

Google Chrome does not have any freaky adds, I use it daily. What you mean is you can see freaky adds when using it, this does not mean Chrome is responsible.

The adds could be due to a number of reasons, so try and follow these tips to try and help clear it up:

1. Windows HOSTS file

The windows hosts file can become infected which can target adds to your browser. Please use this tool to reset it to default: http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/rep..._file.html

2. Rogue Extensions

Some rogue extensions can also cause these adds, please disable or remove all extensions in Chrome. You can do this by clicking on the hotdog button (top right) and selecting "Tools/Extensions" from the menu. Then clicking on the trashcan icon next to each extension or unticking the "enable" box.

3. Reset your DNS settings

Sometimes your DNS settings can be hijacked, please reset those by using this tool if the above steps hasn't worked: http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/rep...cache.html

After trying all the above steps you should try a popup blocker for chrome, this is a good one:

You also might try scanning your PC for malware, try malwarebytes:

Sounds like you had some kind of virus, if the ads were so weird. Anyways, Chrome has several adblockers. Try different ones, and remember to download the filter lists.
